This feels like the real make-or-break one, doesn't it? The Force Awakens was solid, but relied too much on repeating previous movies. If Episode VIII is fresh and cool, I think Force will look like a necessary course correction in retrospect and will get more love. Of course, if Episode VIII sucks,...

Actor changes don't bother me. The Mountain is barely in it, so who cares? As for Daario, the last one was a ridiculous Fabio-looking dude who couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Orphan Black fella is way better. I like the way the Clegane brothers have completely different accents, though. The...

bronson. Started strong, faltered in the middle, ended in whimper. Yeah, totally. It pretty much said all it was going to say in the first 30 minutes. Looked great, though, and Hardy was incredible.

This is a weird thread. You change over time, otherwise it's boring and you're not learning. Is that the same thing as growing up? If so, it happens progressively, in my experience. You don't go to bed going, "Yay! Cartoons!" and wake up going, "Oh, my back hurts. Are the mortgage pay...

Syd (Caleb Landry Jones) is a technician at the Lucas Clinic, whose specialty is obtaining diseases from cele...

The only China Mieville I've read was King Rat , which was staggeringly shit. It's a (pretentious) retelling of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, but in this case his evil flute temptations are defeated by - I kid you not - the power of drum 'n' bass. That kinda made me write off the guy. What of his stuff ...

FC - avoid Season Two like the plague, it really was frickin' terrible. You could probably skip Season Three, as well. They're just in a different safe haven with a few new people on board and a couple of the old ones are gone. Otherwise, no lasting changes. This season is the first one with actual ...
